Dear Editor:
Re: PPC not racist, Sept 30.
Henry Brunsveld stated the PPC is not racist. I haven’t read enough about the party to say if that is true or not.
The issue I have a problem with is their stance on vaccines. They state they don’t have a problem with vaccines per se but they want the government to have a rational and scientific approach to vaccine passports. They don’t seem to like politicians telling them what to do. The PPC was trying to get elected and if they had, does that mean as politicians they wouldn’t make decisions that would be telling people what to do?
Health passports are nothing new. Many years ago you couldn’t travel to most countries unless you had proof of immunization against polio, small pox, etc. and that’s how the world became a safer place.
This wasn’t done as some kind of government conspiracy, but was a rational, scientific and medical approach to eradicate diseases that affected everyone.
No one was forced to have vaccines but if you wanted to travel and keep yourself and others safe you had one. When I have a vaccine it will do no harm to others but when you refuse you stand a good chance of harming or even causing death to others and the diseases take longer to go away.
For those of you who are able to have a vaccination but don’t want it that’s fine, just don’t mix with the rest of us who care about our fellow citizens, because if you are that selfish I don’t want you mixing in my society. I wonder how many unvaccinated people if they contract COVID-19 would still want government hospitals to help them.
Be social not selfish.
